Recap: Dope battle, until the 3rd round anyway, between Joey 357 and Xcel had them both spitting haymakers, intricate wordplay, steady punches and especially in the case of (“Get’cha top blew, I never knew he was that anxious to die!”) Joey, a versatile flow that spoke to a flexible cadence. Still, after coming back in the 2nd with a spitfire (“I take steel and stick figures, that’s an easy draw!”) turn that pushed back a solid, but elongated round from his opponent, an old case of the slip-ups returns for Xcel, causing him inexplicably choke and lose the deciding round, which ironically was Joey357’s worse.
Verdict: Joey357 (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Joey357 – “Joey357 versus Xcel this just goes to show, if I’m behind bars after this ‘cuz he was around 5-0 like OVO!”
